Famous quotes by Sarah Bernhardt:

"It is in spending oneself that one becomes rich"

"Legend remains victorious in spite of history."

"The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions."

"I adore Chicago. It is the pulse of America."

"Life begets life. Energy creates energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich."

"He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor . . ."

"Oscar Wilde: 'Do you mind if I smoke?' Sarah Bernhardt: 'I don't care if you burn'"

"Once the curtain is raised, the actor is ceases to belong to himself. He belongs to his character, to his author, to his public. He must do the impossible to identify himself with the first, not to betray the second, and not to disappoint the third."

"We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them."

"Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me."

"What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is enamoured of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?"

"For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture."

"The actor is too prone to exaggerate his powers; he wants to play Hamlet when his appearance is more suitable to King Lear."

"He who is incapable of feeling strong passions, of being shaken by anger, of living in every sense of the word, will never be a good actor."

"I have, thanks to my travels, added to my stock all the superstitions of other countries. I know them all now, and in any critical moment of my life, they all rise up in armed legions for or against me."

"The theatre is the involuntary reflex of the ideas of the crowd."

"I have often been asked why I am so fond of playing male parts. As a matter of fact, it is not male parts, but male brains that I prefer."

"Each action of the actor on the stage should be the visible concomitant of his thoughts."

"Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal."

"Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country."
